M600i has been available since ages in india. It costs around 13k.
In 22k best cell would be N73 ME.

N76 is a big FLOP??!!!

Recently,I met one of a leading 'cell phone' dealer,he was explaining the horrible of replacing 7 N76 mobiles for replacement!!

There is a peeling of metal marigin in many of them!!

All customers who bought N76 became furious!

BEWARE OF N76!

I've read it on other forums too. N76 has that problem where the chrome on the front panel starts peeling.

k800i is quite good...ive been using it, overall very good cam and features

dont go for iPhone, its still buggy and as per reviewu shud wait till a revised version comes out. (and the first version itself hasnt yet hit shores :)

^^ infra dont u think it ll be hacked and modded to use other operators soon? But still iPhone isnt worth taking..

Jul 5, 2007 at 10:48 AM
yeah buddy thats what i was saying in the other thread too... but it'll take sometime... and surely i wudn't spend more than 10k for any grey market stuff.. simply not worth the risk.... and nobody is proficient enuff to repair it in case of damage.

n73music is the best choice.. resale val for nokia is always a cut above the rest..

its going to be more than 2 yrs atleast coz apple are planning to launch iphone in australia nxt yr.:(
i hate them for this discrimination:mad:, but then i remember that apple has always been feeble minded, reason enough for microsoft to beat them in their every proj.:rolleyes:

PErsonally i think one should never buy phones which are 25+.....the price drop so quickly.....that it is better to wait for few more days

even 25k is high. Paying more then 10k for a phone is stupid. Just pay 10k & use the phone for atleast 2 years.
